US Patent 10466978 Intelligent assistant for automating recommendations for analytics programs

As a user uses a programming system to create programs, data are stored into a computer memory. The data describe actions of the user in creating the programs. The programming system has a user interface and a set of templates for functions. The user interface is designed to receive input from the user to direct the system to assemble functions from the set into the programs, the functions being functions for processing of data. As the user uses the user interface to assemble a program, suggestions to the user are computed, the suggestions recommending functions to be added into the program. The computation of function suggestion is based at least in part on the stored action data.
